Is it me, or did they change the relationship portion here almost completely? She wants a normal dating situation (no cheating), which makes it more palatable than the Korean version, where, in the beginning, she is more clear of the fact that she wants a situationship, especially after seeing that horrendous sculpture of hers. Which here has completely different meanings and effects on her. The same goes for him. He is not exactly Playboy here the way he was in the Korean version, but I actually love both the version and the changes they have made. Feels like I'm watching different people in the same setting.
The light shop owner and that shop are not in the real world while the nurse is in real-world; cause who ever visited that light shop is either dead or is a stranger(in coma)
man I’ll just get off this forums. I see a lot of people who had a birdbrain trying to complain about this show.…
Also stating it boring and leaving. MDL has multiple comments like such on many dramas and the most comments I find are “happy ending? Love triangle?”; If that’s what you choose before watching a drama rather than asking about the plot, how well it’s written/ acting-wise (or) nuance it has then my friend you are missing out on most amazing shows
i think hyun ju mom keeps sending her to light shop to buy bulb so she can figure out… first 1-4 eps i was so…
I agree with this as well cause they have to realize to get out of this space, the shop owner knows that HyunJu is also a stranger; Maybe that’s why he told her about it (cause he said he had a daughter too, so he want her to get out of this space). But her mom also sent her to buy the light bulb for herself cause that’s what was keeping her alive in that limbo after the 3-day tradition explained by the morgue doctor.
can someone explain the storyline? im rly confused. ive watched till ep 6
This is for you; sorry for the long ass explanation (heads up I haven't read the webtoon so I exactly don't know where it will end)
The light shop is not present in the real world. He is not the guardian of human beings, as his shop is not in the human realm. His shop is in limbo for strangers (and dead) who are patients in a coma and experiencing a near-death accident. Nurse Kwon says, “People say when they are in near-death experiences, they find themself in the dark (represented by that dark alley of that neighborhood); and at the end, they see the white/bright light (represented by the light shop) and it up to them to move forward from there.” The light shop has a light bulb that represents these strangers. When they are in that shop, they automatically get attracted to that light, but it is up to them to realize what had happened to them. The same case with that police officer the first time he goes into the shop; we find his light glowing dimly, representing how either he just had the accident (or) he is critical, and then we, the viewers, see him in the ICU unit meaning he made it but still in a coma and then the police officer realized that the neighborhood he is running doesn't exist. That is when he finds his shadow that doesn't have his full head in it. So he ran back to the light shop where (we see) the light he was attracted to now not that dim but started to glow bright, and we see him asking what this place is. The light shop owner was surprised and asked how he figured out that when he said, "There is only night in this place" (every time he ran, he was back to the same alleyway). Showing he was realising what had happened to him. Meaning he will be getting back soon to the human realm.
Meanwhile, Lee Ji Yeong found her spirit sitting at the last bus stop waiting; she didn't understand why she was there until she saw the bus arriving and her bf walking down. She saw something strange about him (in his case he walk a couple of minutes then just fell like a big puzzle) she freaked out then, the next day, she started sitting with a suitcase. So, as soon as he crumbles, she packs him and sews his body with thread and needle, and then he stands up. This happened for more than three days. So in the morgue, when the assistant tried to open the door and failed to do so cause it shut tight, the doctor said, "Maybe she needs more time; Maybe she is more resentful.” The workers who came to clean the shop also heard the sound of needles and thread; the monk saw her sewing her boyfriend and bow and left. So every day she walks with a suitcase to find him and sew him up. When we saw the first time blood leaking from the suitcase we didn't see the blood dripping down on the bus stand as soon as he walked down, she saw it and followed him to his home. So when he fell, she packed him up and carried him around, not knowing what to do, hence the blood flowing everywhere. She didn't kill him; he crumbled as usual as he sustained an injury in his stomach, and blood fell from there.
Now, when Nurse Kwon talks about the will and what it is like if the patient is unconscious, she indirectly says to the ghost of Lee Ji Yeong that "now everything depends on his will to live, but I don't think it his’s all alone." Then we see every time she stitches him up, the heartbeat goes up. Saying maybe when they are in limbo or in that dark alley, the loved one they meet will dedicate their will to seeing them stay alive.
Now why her boyfriend didn't remember her and she also said why he doesn't remember when HyunJu and her mother do, and the queer couple does; Cause they were all together in an accident; the other died while saving their loved one. While Ji Yeong unalive herself when he was in a coma.
Why did the owner say that many types of people come here to Hyun Ju, and she has to look for things that are different? He tells the police officer about his daughter; maybe Hyun Ju reminds him of her, and this is why he welcomes her all the time. Now, The people who come to buy the light bulb are dead people. They buy the bulb to stay alive in that limbo for more than three days. Hyun Ju always buys light bulbs for her mother, who is dead already. Who still looks like a human, but the bulb breaks everyday meaning she has to keep buying it every day, and the day HyunJu doesn't buy it, (we see) the funeral preparation where she says, "Mom, you smell like flowers" (because she was in a coffin which is filled with flowers). In the case of dead people like that tall lady and Ji Yeong, who never bought the bulb, they look more ghostly than HyunJu's mother.
The stranger doesn't need the bulb cause they are stuck in an astral projection/outer body kinda situation (not dead). They just have to realize that and get back to the real world. The realization is their will. We see by the end of ep6 the lady also realizes what actually happened before the accident. She was looking home with her partner and then took the bus. Her partner died saving her, but her ghost is present behind her all the time as she says, "I don't even want to see you.”
So, like Ji Yeong'bf always taking the last bus, which he was doing right before he had the accident, she was looking for home before she had the accident. HyunJu is stuck in going back home, and that kid is in the same situation going home after his basketball practice, and the police officer is stuck chasing that guy. They all are stuck in the same situation they were in before their accident. So was the same for the guy who was frozen when the hospital was dealing with the emergency; and so was the guy who was buried alive.
Was the tall woman (writer's gf) destroying the lights so the writer would go buy a bulb from the light shop (and…
No the tall woman just like Ji Yeong never bought the light hence they have a ghostly appearance while Hyun Ju's mother who brought the light looks more like a human. The bulb is for dead people who want to live in limbo more than the three-day tradition the morgue doctor was talking about. Since the tall woman is more ghost-like she can not stand in a ray of light (hope/will to live) and if the bulb is on she can't stay near her girlfriend who she died protecting.
This show is amazing. The first 4 eps are very confusing but everything will be explained in ep 5 and 6.

Interesting premise, gripping dark eerie atmosphere playing such a crucial part in creating the suspenseful, and…
She has the saddest death story of all; I cried when they showed her choice then bawled even more when she read the text and tried to undo what she was doing. Also what an amazing actor and such a brilliantly layered character she is portraying
What do we think about the kid who gave the basketball to Nurse Kwon?
Now, the very interesting thing is we know the driver, HyunJu's mom, and that tall lady died in the accident while HyunJu, the other teenage boys, the bf, and the lady looking for a home was in ICU, but there was this little kid whose grandmother left him in the bus. We actually don't know what happened to him, (we) see him interacting with Nurse Kwon, giving her the football that the teenage boy used to save him (claimed by him) during that accident. But then Nurse Kwon says she can give him that cause that's what she does assist. So maybe he also died, and we have already seen her assisting multiple spirits till now, so maybe she is assisting to fulfill his wish.
